MINIMALLY INVASIVE CHEVRON AKIN FOR HALLUX VALGUS SURGERY: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY WITH MEAN 6.8-YEAR FOLLOW-UP

Résumé fourni par la source

Introduction Minimally invasive distal first metatarsal osteotomy with internal fixation has become an established technique for correction of hallux valgus deformities. Published data is limited to follow-up of 2–3 years. This study aimed to assess a large cohort of patients undergoing, MICA (Minimally Invasive Chevron and Akin), with minimum 5 year follow up. To evaluate the longer-term results of this procedure, patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) were used. Methods Five year PROM data was prospectively collected from consecutive patients who underwent primary MICA osteotomies performed by a single surgeon. The primary outcome measure was the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ). Secondary outcome measures included visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-pain), and EuroQol-5 Dimensions Index (EQ-5D). Data were collected preoperatively, at 2 years and after a minimum of 5 years. Statistical significance was set at p< 0.05. Results 240 MICA were performed on 164 patients. Mean follow-up was 6.8±1.0 years with all patients completing minimum 5 year follow-up scores. The MOXFQ scores for all feet improved across all domains: from 44.6±20.9 preoperatively to 9.5±17.7 post-operatively for Pain (p < 0.001), from 37.7±23.6 to 8.0±17.5 for Walking and Standing (p < 0.001) and from 47.9±22.0 to 7.8±17.1 for Social Interaction (p < 0.001). VAS-pain & EQ-5D also improved. There was no statistically significant change in scores between minimum two- and five-year follow up PROMs. Conclusion This study reports the longest PROMs for minimally invasive hallux valgus surgery and demonstrates significant improvement which is maintained at minimum five-year follow up.
